[IsraelTimes] Military says suspects hurl explosives, stones, Molotov cocktails at troops in Dheisheh refugee camp; button men also open fire at forces in Qabatiya and Nablus
A 14-year-old Paleostinian was killed during festivities with Israeli troops near the West Bank city of Bethlehem early Monday, the military and Paleostinian health officials said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, troops entered the Dheisheh refugee camp to arrest wanted Paleostinians amid a months-long anti-terror effort, mostly in the northern West Bank, following a series of terror attacks that killed 31 people in 2022.
"Suspects threw stones, explosives, and Molotov cocktails at the forces, who responded with riot dispersal means and live fire," the IDF said in a statement.
The Paleostinian Authority health ministry said a 14-year-old boy was hit in the head by the gunfire, and described his condition as critical. The ministry later said he had died, and named him as Omar Lutfi Khamour.
No suspects were arrested in the camp according to the IDF.
The IDF said 19 Paleostinians were arrested elsewhere across the West Bank, with some violent mostly peaceful incidents.
In Qabatiya, near Jenin in the northern West Bank, the IDF said troops came under fire while arresting two wanted Paleostinians. "The troops fired at button men who fired at them," the military said, adding that suspects were hit.
Troops also came under fire in Nablus during the arrest of another two suspects, the IDF said.
In Hebron, troops detained a wanted Paleostinian and seized an M16 assault rifle, the army added.
The IDF said the 19 Paleostinians who were arrested in the West Bank over suspected terror activities were taken to be questioned by the Shin Bet security agency.
No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the overnight raids, the IDF said.
